That's like distrusting all doctors because there are a few who think they can cure cancer by giving you herbal tea.
There are always some nuts saying stupid stuff. In every single field. And yes, listening to them would be quite dumb.
What matters here is what the mainstream of scientists say. Not the ones who say the earth will heat up by 50 degrees over the next 10 years, nor the ones who say we'll go into a new ice age in the next 25 years.
And even then, science isn't infallible - but it's the best thing we have.
